  • Page 6: Direct Broadcast Satellite Overview

    Satellite Overview Direct Broadcast Service (DBS) satellites broadcast audio, video and data information from satellites located 22,000 miles in space. A receiving station, such as WSTA-DP250PMS antenna, should include a dish and satellite receiver to receive the signals and process them for use by the consumer audio and video equipment.

    Watching TV Watching TV WSTA-DP250PMS antenna is designed to operate as efficiently and as reliably as possible when the vehicle is moved and anchored. It is also the quickest satellite acquisition system available among WSTA-DP250PMS antennas. If you have anchored the vehicle and the antenna has completed to searching selected satellite, turn off IDU Power to avoid unnecessary use of power.

  • Page 18: Appendix A How To Set The Skew Angle

    Satellite Signal Blocked The WSTA-DP250PMS Antenna needs a clear line of sight (LOS), view to the satellite for uninterrupted reception. Objects such as tall lighthouse, bridges and big ship that block this view will cause a loss of signal. The signal will be quickly restored once the antenna has a clear line of sight again.
